President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to tour Kisumu County tomorrow, alongside ODM party leader Raila Odinga.
Preparations are on top gear as national and county government officials continue to work round the clock to ensure that the Head of State’s time in the county is memorable.
President Kenyatta will lead the official launch of the pilot phase of the Universal Health Coverage program, with Kisumu County government indicating that the function will be held at the Mamboleo Show Ground.
UHC’s pilot phase is being implemented in Kisumu, Isiolo, Nyeri and Machakos counties.
“Kisumu Governor Prof. Anyang' Nyong'o alongside County Commissioner Pauline Dola this evening set foot at Mamboleo Show Ground to inspect the level of preparedness at the ground ahead of the President's visit to Kisumu on Thursday 13th December, 2018. The president is expected to commission a number of projects in Kisumu the very same day. Welcome President,” a statement from Governor Nyong’o’s press unit read in part.
President Kenyatta and ODM leader are expected to address hundreds of residents in Kondele.
Kondele is on your way to Mamboleo from the Kisumu International Airport.
It will be the first official visit of the two leaders in Kisumu, since the March 09, 2018 handshake.
